Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a machine for grouping non-dimensionally stable, not completely filled with a bulk material or a pasty Good containers, such as tubular bags or flat bags or other packaging, the machine has a sliding floor or the like, to which the containers are delivered.
  • the present invention also relates to a method for grouping non-dimensionally stable, not completely with a bulk or pasty Good filled containers, such as tubular bags or flat bags for the purpose of processing in secondary packaging, such as cartons or other variants of bulk packaging.
  • Sliding floor means in the invention that the tubular bag rests on a floor, which can be moved or folded accordingly or release an opening to eject the tubular bag from a first level to a second opposite the first level deeper arranged level.
  • packaging lines which comprise a dosing unit, a tubular bag machine, a tubular bag grouper and a cartoning machine.
  • the well-known packaging line is used in the packaging of rice. Like from the FIG. 2 (Prior Art) can be seen, several cooking bags or flat bags 1 made of HDPE (High Density Polyethylene), in which the rice is located, packed in a carton 2 as a sales package. When cooking, the volume of rice increases. This expansion must be able to accommodate the cooking bag 1 addition. For this reason, the cooking bag 1 is not completely, only 40%, filled. The rice can slip back and forth in the cooking bag 1 when packaging. The shape of the cooking bag 1 can change in contrast to the dimensionally stable folding box 2. In addition to rice as a bulk material, foils, folding boxes and outer cartons are the essential supply elements of the packaging line.
  • HDPE High Density Polyethylene
  • the actual tasks of the packaging line are portioning, forming, filling, closing, Identifying and grouping the packaging.
  • the molding, filling and closing of the cooking bag is done by a tubular bag machine. Subsequently, the cooking bags are delivered lying flat on a conveyor belt to the Schlauchlessnessgruppierer.
  • the cooking bag 1 are leveled, ie the rice is evenly distributed in the bag, so that the bag is given an ideal flat shape.
  • a different grouping of several cooking bags is made.
  • a cooking bag is transported so far that it arrives on a sliding floor or on a folding floor. In this position, the cooking bag must be stopped. This can be done by a mechanical stop. Subsequently, the slider or the flap opens, so that the cooking bag falls to a lower level. Through a repeated process cooking bags can fall on each other and be stacked.
  • the rice in the bag slips when hit because of the inertia, when falling the effect increases, and the cooking bags lying over each other have lost their ideal shape.
  • the stack is unfavorable for further packaging in the carton, because the "deformed" rice bag can not stack more targeted, but rather undefined lie one above the other. This complicates the introduction, for example, in a carton.
  • the uneven distribution of the rice or packaged goods in the tubular bag leads among other things to the fact that the deformed bags require considerably more space in the carton, whereby the degree of utilization of the packaging material (carton) is significantly minimized.
  • the invention has for its object to improve the grouping or stacking of non-dimensionally stable, not completely filled with a bulk or a pasty Good containers.
  • a grouping machine of the type mentioned which has a positioning device with means for entraining the container relative to the sliding floor.
  • the means for driving move at transport speed, so that the container can be easily taken over and used with the static friction between the means for taking along and the container can be accurately retracted.
  • the means for entrainment (driver) are with their underside on top of the container. This results in a leveling of the container.
  • This object is also achieved by a method in which the container is pulled by means of a driver on the sliding floor and is positioned by stopping the movement of the driver on the sliding floor.
  • the invention consists in the formation of an automatic, defined indentation up to a certain position on the sliding floor or above a flap, so that the containers when opening the sliding floor exactly and flat equalized fall on each other.
  • a control unit for synchronizing the speed of the means for entrainment and the conveyor belt is provided.
  • the means for entrainment are formed by a circulating belt.
  • the means for driving are formed by a movable punch or the like.
  • An areal arrangement of the means for entrainment on the container leads to an improved leveling of the bulk material.
  • the drawing shows part of a packaging line.
  • a dosing unit, a tubular bag machine, a tubular bag grouper and a cartoning machine are per se state of the art and are therefore not described in detail here.
  • a dosing unit, a tubular bag machine and a cartoning machine are also not the subject of the invention.
  • Tubular bag 1 with portioned bulk material lying flat on a continuously driven conveyor belt 3 to a machine 4 for grouping in the transport direction 5 are delivered.
  • the tubular bag 1 are not dimensionally stable and not completely, ie only about 40%, filled. Therefore, the tube bag 1 were equalized before transport. Consequently, the tubular bag 1 have a nearly ideal typical shape.
  • the machine 4 has a sliding floor 6.
  • a tubular bag 1 runs on the conveyor belt 5 on the sliding floor 6 in level I by the tubular bag 1 is detected by a feed belt 7.
  • the gap 8 the feeder belt 7 and the slide bottom 6 ideally equal to or slightly higher than the ideally equalized tubular bag 1.
  • the switchable, not continuously moving feed belt 7 pulls the tubular bag 1 as long as until the tubular bag 1 completely from the feeder belt 7, then delays to a standstill, whereby the tubular bag 11 occupies a defined position on the sliding floor 6.
  • the tubular bag 1 is passed from the level I to level II.
  • the format of the grouping can be set very precisely with the aid of the feed belt 7.
  • the repeated ejection of the tubular bag 1 creates a stack in level II.
  • the stack of tubular bags 1 can be introduced into a folding box 2 by the continuously operating cartoning machine.
